1. Use cheat code to boot Knoppix more quickly
Boot from the disk: toram
Boot from the ISO for remastered LiveCD: bootfrom=/dev/hda1/knoppix.iso
Try another fancy cheat code:
knoppix splash Boot with fancy background splashscreen
You can also reference a list of the most frequently used cheat codes by pressing F2 at the boot prompt.
2. Hard drive and source directory preparation
Open a console and switch to super user mode: su
Mount the working directory read/write: mount –o rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
Check the free ram: free
Check the free disk space: df –h
Switch to hard drive and create appropriate directory structure:
cd /mnt/hda1
mkdir –p source/KNOPPIX
cp –a /KNOPPIX/* source/KNOPPIX
Copy resolv.conf from UnionFS to HD:
cp /etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf source/KNOPPIX/etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf
mount --bind /proc source/KNOPPIX/proc
chroot source/KNOPPIX
3. Remove OpenOffice
apt-get --purge remove openoffice-de-en
apt-get clean
apt-get update
4. Change the desktop background into my cartoon picture
Firstly, download a cartoon picture as I like and save it as ppt.jpg on Desktop. Then do following steps:
cp /home/knoppix/Desktop/ppt.jpg /mnt/hda1/master/KNOPPIX/background.jpg
Regenerate the list of checksums:
cd /mnt/hda1
cd master
rm –f KNOPPIX/md5sums
find –type f –not –name md5sums –not –name boot.cat –exec md5sum {} \; >> KNOPPIX/md5sums
cd ..
5. Install additional software
klik is the easiest way to install additional software in Knoppix. Make sure you are connected to the internet, then Press Alt-F2 to open the Run Command window and enter wget klik.atekon.de/client/install -O -|sh
Press Run.
After a while you should get a message about the klik client being successfully installed.
Now open the klik website in Konqueror. You can browse the website and point-and-klik to download and install software packages from the Klik website.
For example, browse to http://opera9.klik.atekon.de/ and click the download button.
Klik will automatically download and install Opera 9. An entry will be created under Applications (installed by klik) on the Start menu to launch the program.
If you know the name of the software you want just type klik://softwarename to directly go to the downloadpage e.g klik://firefox
All programs are downloaded as single self-contained .cmg files. To 'uninstall' a program simply delete the downloaded .cmg file.
6. Make new ISO
mkisofs –pad –l –r –J –v –V “KNOPPIX” –no-emul-boot –boot-load-size 4 –boot-info-table –b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin –c boot/isolinux/boot.cat –hide—rr-moved –o knoppix.iso master/

Abstract for Remastering LiveCD-KNOPPIX
In this project, it provides the specific steps of remastering one of the most popular LiveCD-Knoppix 5.1.1 under “root shell”. While Knoppix 5.1.1. includes a lot of useful software, we still have additional personal needs for LiveCD, such as playing games, chatting online, or other different kinds of application we often use in daily life. This project presents the process of changing desktop to a personal picture and installing extra software to Knoppix. Moreover, it offers some cheat codes to run Knoppix faster and demonstrates the forensic tools for collecting data to monitor system network. The last step of remastering a LiveCD is burning a ISO file, and then a personalized LiveCD is created.
Online Journal-Data Remembrance
Security software wipes stolen data remotely
Data remembrance or data remanence is a problem for hard driver, flash disk, ram or some systems with sensitive data. Right now, many different kinds of security software can delete data clean like paper shredder.
But how about the lost or stolen disk, like PDA, which is more portable and more easily to be stolen. Because the owner may not protect any information stored in that before realizes it is stolen, the information will be totally discovered to the stealer. What can we do??
Kaspersky Lab has introduced software aimed at letting individual owners of lost or stolen Windows Mobile phones block access and delete data remotely. Kaspersky Mobile Security also filters SMS spam messages, scans incoming files for malware in real time, and includes a firewall.
To lock a phone (above left) or delete all its data (above right), the owner need merely send a specific code to it via SMS, Kaspersky claims. Via an "SMS Block" code, the phone is locked and becomes unusable until and unless a pre-set password is entered. Via an "SMS Clean" code, a phone's data can be erased remotely, including email, SMS messages, documents, and network settings.
